    Summary

    He does wonder, though, as he watches the rest of the group walking ahead of them, if the others have that same unspoken tension threaded through their shoulders. Their new friends are almost always tense, of course, but… Orym wonders.

    If Dorian was easy to help, what can he do for the others?

     

    Or: Seven times Orym uses his friends' love languages, and the one time they use his

    Summary

    “Beauregard – you said she is outside?” Essek half-turns in the direction of the front door. “Should we invite her in?”

    It feels like there is something stuck in his throat. “In a moment. She is, ah – giving us some space.”

    Essek turns back to stare at him. Repeats quietly, dangerously, “Space.”

    Caleb forces himself to swallow. “Yes.”

    Essek’s attention is a palpable thing now, sharp like a knife’s edge against his cheek. “Explain.”

    One moment makes all the difference during the battle at Blumenthal. In the aftermath, the Nein grapple with what comes next.

    Summary

    "It’s a beautiful day at the Soltryce Academy—the sky is vibrant and the trees rustle with the gentlest of winds as Caleb begins his impromptu Transmutation lecture outside. From the building on the edge of the grounds he hears a muffled bell tolling for fifth period. Somewhere in the distance, a student begins to whistle.
    At that moment, Caleb feels at peace.
    At that moment, a Purple Worm bursts forth from the soil directly in front of him, and all of his plans for a pleasant afternoon are promptly dashed."
    ---
    Caleb and Essek have finally settled down - more or less. While the beloved and somewhat eccentric Professor Widogast is busy inciting small student-scale riots and teaching tiny wizards morals, Essek spends his days lounging around the house, drinking wine and experimenting with the exotic concept of 'cooking his own meals'. They are pretty sure life is great - until two pre-teen assassins crash-land into the middle of the Soltryce Academy and demand the former Shadowhand be surrendered to their custody. What are the two internationally in/famous mages to do? The answer will shock absolutely no one.
